November 19, 2015 Thursday #muscles!#talktoGod#IceCapades#war#drumlinsandeskers

Get Fit
Did some weights this morning.  I use 5 lb hand weights and do a series of upper body and then legs.  I can get through 2 sets of 10 and should push for the third circuit.  Do what you can - that's what I like about being home I don't feel like anyone is watching and counting my reps for me.  Some people need that though!

Get Faith
Ephesians 3:12  "In him and through faith in him we may approach God with freedom and confidence."  You don't have to be in church, or go to a Priest or Pastor, you can bring your gratitude, sins, praise and requests to God yourself.  Go ahead he hears you.  Have faith.

On this day
1980 - I went to Andy and Adele's after work and we all took Merri and Lindsey to the Ice Capades. This was before Joe Louis arena, maybe at Cobo?

1969 - Apollo 12 astronauts Charles Conrad and Alan Bean made man's second landing on the moon. This is the second time men prayed on the moon, what, you don't think so?  I bet they prayed to safely reach home on earth!

Parenting
My daughter and I don't share political views.  I was a liberal when I was young also, but we do share some view points.  Our constitution says to welcome those who need shelter.  We also agree on how the war against Isis can only be dealt with.

Book Club - The Wolf at the Door by Jack Higgins
Getting to the end and I believe it will be a surprise ending.  It is very timely with what is going on in the world now.

Kaarina Finland  culture
Location and Geography. Finland is bordered on the east by Russia, on the south by the Gulf of Finland and Estonia, on the west by the Gulf of Bothnia and Sweden, and on the north and northwest by Norway. A quarter of its territory is north of the Arctic Circle. Four physiographic-biotic regions divide the country. An archipelagic belt embraces the southwestern coastal waters and the Åland Islands. A narrow coastal plain of low relief and clay soils, historically the area of densest rural settlement and mixed farming production, extends between the Russian and Swedish borders. A large interior plateau contains dense forests, thousands of lakes and peat bogs, and rocky infertile soils associated with a glacially modified landscape with numerous drumlins and eskers. This district lies north and east of the coastal plain toward the Russian border. Beyond the Arctic Circle, forests give way to barren fells, extensive bogs, rugged mountains, and the large rivers of Lapland. Continental weather systems produce harsh cold winters that last up to seven months in the interior eastern and northern districts, yet long summer days permit farming far to the north. The climate in the south and west is moderated by the waters of the Gulf Stream and north Atlantic drift current.

Enjoy the Day  Make it Memorable!  Happy Birthday to Marylou!
